Well, it’s American-made, but is the high price of a Simplicity vacuum justified and should you buy their canister or upright models? It all depends on what you are looking for. For some, it might be the best vacuum cleaner, while others should look elsewhere.

There is no escaping the fact that a Simplicity vacuum cleaner is expensive. For its price you could go and buy the best model of Hoover, Dyson or Eureka vacuum cleaner. And, if you buy one of these brands, you will get one of the best vacuum cleaners on the market. They all offer models that are sleek in design, packed with the latest magic, and have received many rave vacuum cleaner reviews. By comparison, Simplicity’s bins and uprights may seem old-fashioned. There is no cyclone version and there is also no bagless version. So how do you justify your high prices and what’s so great about your machines?

First, you need to look at the materials used in the components of a Simplicity vacuum cleaner. If you look closely, you’ll find a lot of metal in a Simplicity vacuum. For example, the Simplicity Upright Vacuum comes with a metal wand, a stainless steel base plate, a reinforced metal foot pedal, and even a polished metal cord hook. There is also metal where the eye cannot see; underhood. What the use of all this metal tells you is that these machines are built to last. Try comparing another brand, such as the Eureka upright vacuum, and you will notice the difference. The Eureka comes with substantially more plastic.

Another thing your dollar buys you is a generously sized motor in each machine. Some brands are all style and no substance, not so with a Simplicity vacuum. The company claims that its cleaners are among the most powerful on the market.

Another thing you are paying for is the use of innovative technology. For example, on some of the upright models you get a tandem air system. This means that the vacuum cleaner comes with not one but two motors. The first is where all the vertical motors are, right above your head so there is no loss of suction. The second motor is placed higher. Its job is to power the built-in tools and facilitate the highly efficient filtration system in the vacuum cleaner. But there is more than you think. The two motors do not work independently; They work synchronously for optimal performance.

Also, many Simplicity vacuum cleaner models come with HEPA filters; some are 100% sealed units, guaranteeing 99.97% removal of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. Vacuum cleaners equipped with this type of HEPA filter don’t just clean your carpet; They also clean your air.

The warranty on Simplicity vacuum cleaners is very good. There is a minimum 2-year warranty on its cheaper models and the more expensive ones come with 6 years. Compare this to the warranty offered on a Eureka upright vacuum; most come with only a 1-year warranty.

So is Simplicity the best vacuum cleaner on the market? They’re not the lightest or the prettiest, but they offer excellent suction power and are solidly built. Whether you think the price is justified will depend on what you want from a vacuum and whether you’re willing to pay for power and durability.
